I like this guy at work, but I don't know if we are compatible
Question Posted Thursday February 24 2011, 2:15 pm
I like this guy at work and he said he thinks I'm cute. I'm 20 and he's 21. I know that he used to drink, but I don't think he does much anymore.I don't really know how he is outside of work. I am Christian and I'm not suppose to date a nonbeliever. I don't know if he believes in God or not. If he were to ask me out what should I say? Would it be ok if I said I had to think about it?
It would definitely be okay to want to think about it first. You don't really know him well, and hanging out with someone can sometimes be a big step. It's such a simple thing, but it's also something that can make or break the relationship.
If you do decide to hang out, religion could be something you talk with him about. In my personal opinion though, I wouldn't. Religion & politics are two subjects that cause nothing but problems when they are discussed.
And if Christians really aren't supposed to date non believers, I think my boyfriend (and most of my previous boyfriends) may be going to hell. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

And when you go out as friends, you can ask him all those questions about himself and you can know then, if you can really go out with him and date him or not, and if you can't, and if you do find out that you're incompatible together, then there is no problem if you backed out, because you're not really committed to him, it was just a normal outing as two friends getting to know each other.
